It is shown that for the detection of changes in distributions a stopping time introduced by \textit{E. S. Page} [Biometrika 41, 100-115 (1954; Zbl 0056.380)] is optimal with respect to a ''minimax type'' criterion proposed by \textit{G. Lorden} [Ann. Math. Stat. 42, 1897-1908 (1971; Zbl 0255.62067)]. Lorden has already proved that Page's stopping time is optimal asymptotically.
